In the second episode of Grimoire of Zero, titled "Witch-Hunting," viewers are taken into a deeper exploration of the world of magic and the ways in which it intersects with society. The episode begins with our two main characters, a powerful half-beast mercenary named Mercenary and a young witch named Zero, journeying through a dense forest on their way to a new destination. Along the way, they come across a man who has been violently attacked, his body left partially transformed into that of a wolf.
As Mercenary and Zero investigate the scene, they begin to understand that this man was likely targeted by a group of religious zealots who are intent on eliminating all witches and eliminating any trace of magic from the world. This revelation is particularly troubling to Zero, who has always struggled with her identity as a witch and has spent her life on the run because of the danger that her powers pose to those around her.
As she and Mercenary continue on their journey, they come across a small village that has been terrorized by the witch hunters. The villagers are cowering in fear, afraid to stand up to the powerful religious group that has taken control of their town. One young girl in particular catches Zero's attention, and she realizes that the child is a witch just like herself.
Determined to help the girl and her family, Zero and Mercenary hatch a plan to take on the witch hunters and put an end to their reign of terror once and for all. Along the way, they face a number of challenges and obstacles, including a fierce battle with a powerful sorceress who is aligned with the witch hunters.
Overall, "Witch-Hunting" is an intense and action-packed episode that delves deeply into the themes of persecution, fear, and the lengths to which people will go to protect themselves and those they love. With strong character development, compelling plot twists, and a hauntingly beautiful animation style, Grimoire of Zero is shaping up to be a must-watch series for fans of the fantasy and adventure genres.
